Do your guys benefit from all that team building? Or do they just get the same minimum wage no matter what while all the benefits of team efficiency go to the owner?

Babbel is working ok for me for learning French.

Just lessons without all the hearts and ads and crap

The tail boom is massive compared to a sports car but I think the folded-up package looks not bigger than a giant American SUV.

Speaking as one who routinely has trouble parking a motor home and driving over curbs with it — this big awkward-looking vehicle doesn’t look like a great city-car but it does not compete with motor homes for the awkwardness prize.

Maybe they wanted to be ver very sure you weren’t covering a not-working period /s

I was sincere about the congratulations but only offered them because I thought you were complaining that the news shouldn’t use fancy words. lol.

I’m glad we were all able to talk this out.

One anecdote: Trans people do exist in rural Canada. The woman who sold me tires outside Saskatoon was I’m-pretty-sure-maybe-definitely trans and gave every appearance of getting along fine with her coworkers.

I can’t speak to her quality of life generally but anyway nobody has chased her off to Vancouver yet. I would imagine tire shops are probably on the worse end for harassment so if Saskatoon was hell on earth for trans people she probably wouldn’t pick a tire shop to work at.

Why 😐?

Congratulations on learning a new word.

How does the construction app know what needs to be constructed and how?

How does the waiter app know which table ordered what, needs attention, etc?

How does the IT app know on which port every device is connected?

These things are all real hard to know. Having glasses that display the knowledge could be really nice but for all these magic future apps, having a display is only part of the need.

Are people with $20K lenses excited about kildeer?

I spent a couple weeks at a Southwest Pennsylvania RV park that had kildeer running around all through the greensward in the middle of it. Was I seeing something more remarkable than the usual run of things?

All five of them?

This was very cool to learn

The way it works for power over Ethernet — and I assume USB power delivery must work the same way — is that it does not reduce bandwidth because they run the power and the signal over the same wires at the same time.

There is a a power injector at one end and a filter at the other end that separate out the high-frequency signal and the DC (no-frequency) power into different wires.

This is essentially the same thing as they’re already doing for multi-frequency stacking on those same wires (and on fiber) to get the crazy bandwidth in the first place. DC power is just one more low (very very low) frequency running on the same stack.

I’m not saying “inflation means prices go up” I’m saying “inflation means prices went up”. There can be many things that cause prices to go up, inflation is one result of any such cause and of course then causes many things itself including further inflation.

In your scenario that’s inflation caused by price fixing. You seem to be saying these things are mutually exclusive but I don’t understand why you would say that.

Companies deciding to raise prices (for any reason — justified or not) is what inflation is made of.

Inflation just means “prices went up.”

I can press the entirely local switch and have light.

Are you sure about that? Is it a local connected smart switch (still fancy electronics, just local) or a plain old power switch?

If it’s a power switch, and If you turned your lights off by app over the internet, and then the internet went out, then your lights’ ability to come back on when you flick the physical switch depends on somebody having thought about this need and programmed a “oh, the switch was flicked so I better ignore the internet settings” mode.

And if they did that, it also probably means your lights all turn on after a power outage since the light can’t tell the difference between power outage and light switch flipped off.

I feel like this would not stop him from threatening Sweden, though.
